Trying to narrow down an extremely infuriating issue with Mesa on an AMD GPU (lemdro.id)

I have a few questions, please comment if you match all of most of these:

  • Do you use an RX 6000 series GPU?

  • Do you experience random freezes when playing games?

  • Are those freezes a "page fault"? (Use journalctl to check)

  • Do these issues occur in OpenGL games?

  • Are the page faults a GCVM_PROTECTION_FAULT?

  • What mesa version do you use?

  • What Linux distro do you use?

I've been having frequent freezes and it renders my operating system nearly unusable. I have to restart my computer to recover, and I lose all of my unsaved work.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Do you use an RX 6000 card on Linux but have not had this issue?

I run an RX6600 and haven’t had any freezing issues. Which version of Mesa and which games? If it’s all OpenGL games that would be rather strange.

Mesa 23.2+

Games as simple as Minecraft eventually crash my PC.

What distro?

[–] sosodev 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

KDE Neon using X11 with latest stable kernel+Mesa.

Might be a gnome thing

Not sure if this will fix your problem but try Wayland and see if you have the issue. I don't know why a lot of my problems with games were fixed and it might help you.

I already use wayland. X11 is miserable for me
